Tea

Afternoon tea is a light meal typically eaten between 3pm and 5pm. The custom of drinking tea originated in England when Catherine of Bragança married Charles II in 1661 and brought the practice of drinking tea in the afternoon with her from Portugal.Various places that belonged to the former British Empire also have such a meal. However, changes in social customs and working hours mean that most Britons will rarely take afternoon tea, if at all.

Traditionally, loose tea is brewed in a teapot and served in teacups with milk and sugar. This is accompanied by sandwiches (customarily cucumber, egg and cress, fish paste, ham, and smoked salmon), scones (with clotted cream and jam, see cream tea) and usually cakes and pastries (such as Battenberg, fruit cake or Victoria sponge). The food is often served on a tiered stand; there may be no sandwiches, but bread or scones with butter or margarine and optional jam or other spread.

A formal afternoon tea is, nowadays, usually taken as a treat in a hotel, café or tea shop. In everyday life, many British take a much simpler refreshment consisting of tea and biscuits at teatime.

While living in Woburn Abbey, Anna Maria Russell, Duchess of Bedford, is credited as the first person to have transformed afternoon tea in England into a late-afternoon meal rather than a simple refreshment.

Isabella Beeton describes afternoon teas of various kinds: the old-fashioned tea, the at-home tea, the family tea and the high tea and provides menus.

Katz's Delicatessen

Katz's Delicatessen, also known as simply Katz's of New York City, is a kosher-style (not Kosher according to Jewish Halacha) delicatessen restaurant located at 205 E. Houston Street, on the south-west corner of Houston and Ludlow Streets, in Manhattan.

Since its founding in 1888, it has become popular among locals and tourists alike for its pastrami sandwiches and hot dogs, both of which are widely considered among New York's best. Each week, Katz's serves 5,000 pounds of corned beef, 2,000 pounds of salami and 12,000 hot dogs.

During World War II, Katz's encouraged parents to "send a salami to your boy in the army" which became one of the deli's famous catch phrases,[2] along with "Katz's, that's all!" which is still painted on the side of the building. The former phrase is referenced in the Tom Lehrer song "So Long Mom (A Song for World War III)", with the lyric "Remember Mommy, I'm off to get a commie, so send me a salami, and try to smile somehow". Katz is also well known for its photos of famous people eating in Katz's placed along its wall.

Katz's continues its "Send a salami to your boy in the army" to this day. The deli has arranged special international shipping only for U.S. military addresses and has been a source of gift packages to the troops stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq.


As each customer enters Katz's they are handed a printed, numbered ticket by the door attendant. As they receive their food from various stations/areas throughout the deli (separate for sandwiches/hot dogs/bottled drinks/fountain drinks etc/ a running total of the bill before tax is computed by the employees. If several people's orders are combined on a single ticket, the blank ones are collected by the cashier. Relatively recently (within the last 10 years) Katz's has instituted a "lost ticket fee" If a ticket is lost by a customer, an additional $50 surcharge is added to what is often (with sandwiches costing between $15-$17) a rather large bill. The purpose of the fee, as stated by the management is to encourage patrons to go back and find the lost ticket in the hopes of preventing theft (substituting a smaller ticket for a larger one).

Katz's was the site of Meg Ryan's and Estelle Reiner's famous "I'll have what she's having" fake orgasm scene in the 1989 romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally...; the table at which she and Billy Crystal sat, is marked with a sign that says "Where Harry met Sally...hope you have what she had!". It was also the site of Johnny Depp's character meeting with an FBI contact in Donnie Brasco. Katz's Deli is also the site for a scene in Across the Universe in which one of the main characters reveals he has been drafted into the Vietnam War. Katz's also appears in the movie Enchanted with Patrick Dempsey and Amy Adams.

Chinese Cuisine

Traditional dim sum includes various types of steamed buns such as cha siu baau, dumplings and rice noodle rolls (cheong fun), which contain a range of ingredients, including beef, chicken, pork, prawns and vegetarian options. Many dim sum restaurants also offer plates of steamed green vegetables, roasted meats, congee porridge and other soups. Dessert dim sum is also available and many places offer the customary egg tart. Having a meal in a Chinese teahouse or a dim sum restaurant is known as yum cha (yam cha, 飲茶), literally "drinking tea", as tea is typically served with dim sum.

Dim sum can be cooked by steaming and frying, among other methods. The serving sizes are usually small and normally served as three or four pieces in one dish. It is customary to order family style, sharing dishes among all members of the dining party. Because of the small portions, people can try a wide variety of food.

Dim sum dishes can be ordered from a menu or sometimes the food is wheeled around on a trolley by servers. Traditionally, the cost of the meal is calculated based on the number, size, and sometimes color of the dishes left on the patron's table (more below). Some modern dim sum restaurants record the dishes on a bill at the table. Not only is this tidier, it also prevents patrons from cheating by concealing or stealing the plates. Servers in some restaurants use distinct stamps so that sales statistics for each server can be recorded.

Jadiii.. gw cerita lagi deh meski sebenernya sih udah agak lamaan juga ya dari anniversary gw itu. Berhubung fotonya gw simpen jadi yaa...gw bisa tulis deh. Waktu itu sebenernya gak laper-laper amat, makanya gak cari tempat makan dengan porsi segambreng. Gw juga gak cari makanan dengan menu yang “serius” so, makan sandwich enak kali ya.. Ternyata sandwich yang satu ini mantep banget. Meskipun kedengerannya kayak makanan ringan, ternyata bikin perut full alias kenyang mbangeti! Ini sih lebih-lebih daripada makan nasi sepiring...hahaha. Niat awalnya cuma nyari cemilan, gak taunya malah kenyang beneran. Gak apa-apa, deh. Mantep sih.

Hahaha..untung gw gak sendirian. Satu sandwich bisa diserbu rame-rame. Tower sandwich yang isinya 6 lembar roti ini macem-macem bu isinya... ada grilled chicken, beef bacon, scramble egg, rib eye steak, tuna n sauted mushrooms. Pantesan aja harganya mahal, lengkap siiih...

Btw, judulnya kan "Wish and Sandwich"... Wish-nya apa ya? Mmmm... semoga towernya diskon deh...heheheh...

Openricer review

Akhirnya bisa review lagi...!!!

hahaha... kali ini mau review salah satu restoran buffet di Grand Indonesia..
Well.. THANKS To OPENRICE atau Vouchernya... Free 1 Person Meal at Cardamon..!!!

Restoran Cardamon ini terletal di lantai 5 Grand Indonesia.. Restorannya cukup nyaman, Desain nya a`la cafe italia gitu.. tapi sebenarnya masakannya asia abis,..
Untuk suasana dan kebersihan restoran Cardamon cukup oke.. Cuma agak mengecewakan ternyata di dalem boleh smoking.. dan tidak ada space khusus para smoker.. alhasil kamipun cukup kecewa.

Ok, Langsung aja ke makanannya ya

Cardamon Restaurant memiliki konsep self service buffet yang artinya kita tinggal ambil aja makanannya dari meja saji..

1. Appetizer

Disini appetizernya ada salad dan soup...
nah karena soupnya kelihatan lebih maknyus makanya kamipun mengambil soup jagung.. nah di pojok kiri kami melihat sushi terpajang... langsung deh naluri sushinya muncul..langsung aja kita ambil..
Soup jagungnya enak..jagungnya manis asli..tapi supnya jadi agak terlalu manis..gurih sih..
sushinya standar lah.. yang enak sushi yang dibungkus telur itu..bentuknya bagus..telurnya manis-manis asin gimana gitu..

2. Main Course
Spaghetti Oriental.. Spaghetti ini nggak tawar...enak banget...pedes, manis, gurih... yummy..

Gindara Fish Finger..
Ikan gindara goreng ini enakk banget...ikannya seger.. emang dasar gw suka ikan sih...mantap abis deh ikannya

Potato Wedges.. Potato Wedgesnya ga tawar..dikasih bumbu gitu.. jadinya enak deh..beda sama potato wedges di resto buffet lain..

Beef Ball Curry
Bola-Bola daging sapi ini dimasak agak sedikit mirip rendang, hanya saja bumbunya tidak pedas.. rempah-rempahnya nampol abis..

Chicken Thailand Curry
Ayam ini the best of the best food menurut kami di cardamon.. bumbu karinya begitu enakk.. rempah abis... bumbunya juga tidak pedas..Recommended

Nasi Goreng
Nasi Goreng di Cardamon rasanya halus dan tidak terlalu nampol. ringan rasanya..

Mie Aceh
Mie Aceh juga salah satu makanan yang kami rekomendasikan.. Mie-nya rempah banget..agak pedas dan gurih asinnya juga pas... sensasi rasanya buat penasaran... pengen nambah lagi...

Khusus untuk Nasi Goreng & Mie Aceh dipesan melalui Waiter..

3. Dessert

Banana Caramel
Pisang disini manis-manis asem..cuma karena ada karamelnya yang begitu melted itu menutupi rasa asamnya.. yang bikin saya tambah suka.. Pisang Karamel disini disajikan dalam keadaan HANGAT... padahal taro di piring gitu loh di deretan dessertnya..

Es Selasih
Es nya rasanya standar..Segar manis.. isinya selasih, Rumput laut, dan nata de coco.

4. Beverages

1. Hot Tea
Hot Tea disini ga asal2an.. Pake DILMAH TEA.. terus dikasih berbagai macam pilihan gula untuk ditambahin ke tehnya... yang lucu kjita dikasih sebuah biskuit Oreo di samping cangkir tehnya..

2. Strawberry Thai Tea..
Minuman ini enak banget..di atasnya juice strawberry gitu cuma strawberrynya ga terlalu hancur... kemudian dicampur teh thailand, dan susu kental manis di bagian dasarnya..manis, asam.. TOP!!!!


Keseluruhan, makan di cardamon ini berkualitas dan enak.. tidak seperti kebanyakan restoran buffet yang mementingkan kuantitas dibanding kualitas.. mungkin ini sebabnya di cardamon memiliki jargon Eat All You Can bukan All You Can Eat kali ya..

Untuk makanan per-orang Rp. 75000++ Plus pajak 17% Jadi sekitar 87ribu-an..
Untuk Hot Tea nya Rp 13.500 + 17%
Untuk Strawberry Thai Tea nya Rp 26.000 + 17%

Disini member openrice yang udah punya open rice Card juga dapet diskon 15%..

Keseluruhan, Restoran Cardamon bakal jadi Restoran yang selalu bikin rindu setiap penikmat makanan asia..

Health benefits of eating seafood

Research over the past few decades has shown that the nutrients and minerals in seafood can make improvements in brain development and reproduction and has highlighted the role for seafood in the functionality of the human body.

Heart health
Doctors have known of strong links between fish and healthy hearts ever since they noticed that fish-eating Inuit populations in the Arctic had low levels of heart disease. One study has suggested that adding one portion of fish a week to your diet can cut your chances of suffering a heart attack by half.

Fish is thought to protect the heart because eating less saturated fat and more Omega-3 can help to lower the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood – two fats that, in excess, increase the risk of heart disease. Omega-3 fats also have natural built-in anti-oxidants, which are thought to stop the thickening and damaging of artery walls.

Regularly eating fish oils is also thought to reduce the risk of arrhythmia – irregular electrical activity in the heart which increases the risk of sudden heart attacks.

Brain functionality
The human brain is 10-12% lipids, including the Omega-3 fat DHA. Recent studies suggest that older people can boost their brain power by eating more oily fish, with those who enjoy it regularly are able to remember better and think faster than those who eat none. Other research has also suggested that adding more DHA to the diet of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder can reduce their behavioural problems and improve their reading skills, while there have also been links suggested between DHA and better concentration. Separate studies have suggested that older people who eat fish at least once a week could also have a lower chance of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

Joint benefits
Including fish as a regular part of a balanced diet has been shown to help the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis – a painful condition that causes joints to swell up, reducing strength and mobility. Studies also show that sufferers feel less stiff and sore in the morning if they keep their fish oil intake topped up.

Recent research has also found a link between Omega-3 fats and a slowing down in the wearing of cartilage that leads to osteoarthritis, opening the door for more research into whether eating more fish could help prevent the disease.

Iodine, Selenium, Vitamin A, Zinc
Fish is high in minerals such as iodine and selenium, which keep the body running smoothly. Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland, which controls growth and metabolism, while selenium is used to make enzymes that protect cell walls from cancer-causing free radicals, and helps prevent DNA damage caused by radiation and some chemicals.

Fish is also an excellent source of vitamin A, which is needed for healthy skin and eyes, and vitamin D, which is needed to help the body absorb calcium to strengthen teeth and bones.

Siklus Perjalanan Makanan

Pemasaran Makanan menggabungkan produsen dan konsumen. Ini adalah rangkaian kegiatan yang membawa makanan dari "petani ke piring". Pemasaran bahkan produk makanan tunggal dapat menjadi proses rumit yang melibatkan banyak produsen dan perusahaan. Sebagai contoh, lima puluh enam perusahaan yang terlibat dalam pembuatan satu kaleng sup ayam. Perusahaan-perusahaan ini meliputi tidak hanya ayam dan prosesor sayuran tetapi juga perusahaan-perusahaan yang mengangkut bahan dan orang-orang yang mencetak label dan pembuatan sistem pangan pemasaran cans.The adalah langsung dan tidak langsung terbesar majikan non-pemerintah di Amerika Serikat.

Dalam era pra-modern, penjualan makanan surplus terjadi seminggu sekali saat petani mengambil barang mereka pada hari pasar, ke pasar desa setempat. Berikut makanan dijual ke grosir untuk dijual di toko-toko lokal mereka untuk membeli oleh consumers.With lokal awal industrialisasi, dan perkembangan industri pengolahan makanan, yang lebih beragam makanan bisa dijual dan didistribusikan di lokasi yang jauh. Biasanya toko-toko kelontong awal akan kontra berbasis toko, di mana pembeli kepada toko-penjaga apa yang mereka inginkan, sehingga toko-penjaga bisa untuk mereka.

Pada abad ke-20 supermarket lahir. Supermarket membawa pendekatan pelayanan diri untuk belanja menggunakan shopping cart, dan mampu menawarkan makanan dan minuman berkualitas dengan biaya yang lebih rendah melalui skala ekonomi dan mengurangi biaya staf. Di bagian akhir abad ke-20, ini telah lebih lanjut revolusi pengembangan gudang berukuran besar, di luar kota supermarket, menjual berbagai macam makanan dari seluruh dunia.

Tidak seperti pengolah makanan, ritel makanan adalah pasar dua tingkat di mana sejumlah kecil perusahaan yang sangat besar kontrol sebagian besar supermarket. supermarket raksasa mempunyai daya beli besar terhadap petani dan prosesor, dan pengaruh kuat atas konsumen. Namun demikian, kurang dari sepuluh persen pengeluaran konsumen pada makanan pergi ke petani, dengan persentase lebih besar akan iklan, transportasi, dan perusahaan menengah.

Dim Sum Fast food

Two women picking microwave-cooked dim sum from the freezer in Circle K, Hong Kong.

Certain kinds of instant dim sum have come onto the market in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore. People can enjoy snacks after a 3-minute defrosting and reheating of the instant dim sum in a microwave oven.

Some stalls serve "street dim sum" which usually consists of dumplings or meatballs steamed in a large container, but served on a bamboo skewer. The customer can dip the whole skewer into a sauce bowl and eat while standing or walking.

Dim sum can be purchased from major grocery stores in most countries with a Chinese population. These dim sum can be easily cooked by steaming or microwaving. Major grocery stores in Hong Kong, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Mainland China, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, Australia, United States and Canada have a variety of dim sum stocked at the shelves.

Kobe Beef

Kobe beef (神戸ビーフ, Kōbe Bīfu?) refers to cuts of beef from the black Tajima-ushi breed of Wagyu cattle, raised according to strict tradition in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. The meat is generally considered to be a delicacy, renowned for its flavour, tenderness, and fatty, well-marbled texture. Kobe beef can be prepared as steak, sukiyaki, shabu shabu, sashimi, teppanyaki and more.

Kobe beef is also called "Kobe-niku" (神戸肉?, lit. Kobe meat), "Kobe-gyū" (神戸牛?, lit Kobe cow) or "Kobe-ushi" (神戸牛?, lit Kobe cow) in Japanese.

History

The Wagyu cattle that produce this highly prized meat were introduced into Japan in the second century as work animals, used in rice cultivation. As beef consumption became more prominent in society, farmers began hiring workers to massage the animals' backsides to improve meat quality. The mountainous topography of the islands of Japan resulted in small regions of isolated breeding, yielding herds that developed and maintained qualities in their meat that differ significantly from all other breeds of cattle. Herd isolation and distinctive feeding techniques which resulted from the limited land availability have led to distinguishing features that make the meat both superior in marbling and in the ratios of unsaturated versus saturated fats.

Ramen Outside Japan

Ramen has become popular in China in recent years where it is known as rìshì lāmiàn (日式拉面, "Japanese Style lamian"). Popular Japanese ramen chains serve ramen alongside distinctly Japanese dishes such as tempura and yakitori, something which would be seen as odd in Japan.

Wagamama, a successful pan-Asian chain with establishments mainly in European cities, is known for its noodle soups marketed as ramen (but which are quite different from ramen in Japan).

Ramyeon (라면) is the Korean version of ramen. Ramyeon in Korea is a popular instant meal. Korean ramyeon is known to be hot and spicy, as its soup is usually flavored with chili peppers. There are many varieties of Korean ramyeon, such as kimchi-flavored, seafood-flavored and beef-flavored. Some restaurants serve variations of ramyon with different flavors.It is usually served with vegetables, such as carrots and green onions, and eggs on top.

In Central Asia the dish has thicker noodles, is significantly spicier, and is known as laghman.

True ice cream

Ice cream recipes first appear in 18th century England and America. A recipe for ice cream was published in Mrs. Mary Eales's Receipts in London 1718.

To ice CREAM. Take Tin Ice-Pots, fill them with any Sort of Cream you like, either plain or sweeten'd, or Fruit in it; shut your Pots very close; to six Pots you must allow eighteen or twenty Pound of Ice, breaking the Ice very small; there will be some great Pieces, which lay at the Bottom and Top: You must have a Pail, and lay some Straw at the Bottom; then lay in your Ice, and put in amongst it a Pound of Bay-Salt; set in your Pots of Cream, and lay Ice and Salt between every Pot, that they may not touch; but the Ice must lie round them on every Side; lay a good deal of Ice on the Top, cover the Pail with Straw, set it in a Cellar where no Sun or Light comes, it will be froze in four Hours, but it may stand longer; than take it out just as you use it; hold it in your Hand and it will slip out. When you wou'd freeze any Sort of Fruit, either Cherries, Rasberries, Currants, or Strawberries, fill your Tin-Pots with the Fruit, but as hollow as you can; put to them Lemmonade, made with Spring-Water and Lemmon-Juice sweeten'd; put enough in the Pots to make the Fruit hang together, and put them in Ice as you do Cream.

The earliest reference to ice cream given by the Oxford English Dictionary is from 1744, reprinted in a magazine in 1877. 1744 in Pennsylvania Mag. Hist. & Biogr. (1877) I. 126 Among the rarities..was some fine ice cream, which, with the strawberries and milk, eat most deliciously.

The 1751 edition of The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse features a recipe for ice cream. OED gives her recipe: H. GLASSE Art of Cookery (ed. 4) 333 (heading) To make Ice Cream..set it [sc. the cream] into the larger Bason. Fill it with Ice, and a Handful of Salt.

1768 saw the publication of L'Art de Bien Faire les Glaces d'Office by M. Emy, a cookbook devoted entirely to recipes for flavoured ices and ice cream.

Ice cream was introduced to the United States by Quaker colonists who brought their ice cream recipes with them. Confectioners sold ice cream at their shops in New York and other cities during the colonial era. Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson were known to have regularly eaten and served ice cream. First Lady Dolley Madison is also closely associated with the early history of ice cream in the United States. One respected history of ice cream states that, as the wife of U.S. President James Madison, she served ice cream at her husband's Inaugural Ball in 1813.

Around 1832, Augustus Jackson, an African American confectioner, not only created multiple ice cream recipes, but he also invented a superior technique to manufacture ice cream.

In 1843, Nancy Johnson of Philadelphia was issued the first U.S. patent for a small-scale handcranked ice cream freezer. The invention of the ice cream soda gave Americans a new treat, adding to ice cream's popularity. This cold treat was probably invented by Robert Green in 1874, although there is no conclusive evidence to prove his claim.

Ice cream sundaes with fruit, nuts, and a wafer

The ice cream sundae originated in the late 19th century. Several men claimed to have created the first sundae, but there is no conclusive evidence to back up any of their stories. Some sources say that the sundae was invented to circumvent blue laws, which forbade serving sodas on Sunday. Towns claiming to be the birthplace of the sundae include Buffalo, New York; Two Rivers, Wisconsin; Ithaca, New York; and Evanston, Illinois. Both the ice cream cone and banana split became popular in the early 20th century. Several food vendors claimed to have invented the ice cream cone at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, MO. However, Europeans were eating cones long before 1904.

In the UK, ice cream remained an expensive and rare treat, until large quantities of ice began to be imported from Norway and the US in the mid Victorian era. A Swiss-Italian businessman, Carlo Gatti, opened the first ice cream stall outside Charing Cross station in 1851, selling scoops of ice cream in shells for one penny.

Penyakit Yang Berasal dari Makanan

Penyakit bawaan makanan, biasa disebut "keracunan makanan," disebabkan oleh bakteri, racun, virus, parasit, dan prion. Sekitar 7 juta orang meninggal karena keracunan makanan setiap tahun, dengan sekitar 10 kali lebih menderita dari versi non-fatal banyak [61] Dua faktor yang paling umum yang menyebabkan kasus penyakit bawaan makanan bakteri. Adalah kontaminasi silang yang siap saji makanan dari makanan mentah lainnya dan kontrol suhu yang tidak benar. Kurang umum, efek samping akut juga dapat terjadi jika makanan kontaminasi kimia terjadi, misalnya dari penyimpanan yang tidak benar, atau penggunaan non-makanan grade sabun dan desinfektan. Makanan juga dapat dicampur dengan rentang yang sangat luas artikel (dikenal sebagai benda asing) selama pertanian, manufaktur, memasak, pengemasan, distribusi atau penjualan. Benda asing ini dapat mencakup hama atau kotoran mereka, rambut, puntung rokok, serpihan kayu, dan segala macam kontaminan lainnya. Hal ini dimungkinkan untuk jenis makanan tertentu menjadi terkontaminasi jika disimpan atau disajikan dalam sebuah wadah yang tidak aman, seperti pot keramik dengan glasir timah berbasis.
Analisis Hazard dan Control Points Kritis (HACCP) Flowchart

Keracunan makanan telah diakui sebagai penyakit manusia sejak sedini Hippocrates Penjualan tengik, terkontaminasi atau. Dicampur makanan biasa sampai pengenalan kebersihan, pendinginan, dan kontrol kutu pada abad ke-19. Penemuan teknik untuk membunuh bakteri menggunakan panas dan studi mikrobiologi lainnya oleh para ilmuwan seperti Louis Pasteur memberikan kontribusi terhadap standar sanitasi modern yang di mana-mana di negara-negara berkembang hari ini. Ini kemudian didukung oleh karya Justus von Liebig, yang menyebabkan perkembangan penyimpanan makanan modern dan metode pengawetan makanan Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir lebih, pemahaman yang lebih besar dari penyebab penyakit karena makanan telah menyebabkan pembangunan. pendekatan yang lebih sistematis seperti Analisis Bahaya dan Critical Control Point (HACCP), yang dapat mengidentifikasi dan menghilangkan banyak risiko.

langkah-langkah yang disarankan untuk memastikan keamanan pangan termasuk mempertahankan daerah persiapan bersih dengan makanan dari berbagai jenis tetap terpisah, memastikan suhu memasak yang memadai, dan pendingin makanan segera setelah memasak.

Makanan dan minuman yang mudah merusak, seperti daging, susu dan makanan laut, harus siap dengan cara tertentu agar tidak mencemari orang-orang yang mereka siap. Dengan demikian, aturan umum praktis adalah bahwa makanan yang dingin (seperti produk susu) harus disimpan makanan dingin dan panas (seperti sup) harus terus panas sampai penyimpanan. Dingin daging, seperti ayam, yang akan dimasak tidak harus ditempatkan pada suhu ruang untuk pencairan, dengan risiko pertumbuhan bakteri berbahaya, seperti salmonella atau E. coli.

Wisata Kuliner di Lombok

Dari wisata kuliner tradisional Lombok, kami tak lupa menyantap masakan bercitarasa internasional atau dari daerah lainnya. Maka sembari menikmati romantisme matahari terbenam di Pura Batu Bolong Senggigi, kami jalan kaki menyusuri pantai ke arah Cafe Alberto.

Sebuah resto dan cafe yang memiliki outdoor setting. Di mana kursi-kursi dan meja-meja makan diletakkan di bibir pantai, seperti di Jimbaran Bay, Bali. Dilengkapi lilin yang berpendar lembut. Kami menikmati fruit punch sembari memandang langit jingga pelan-pelan berganti warna menjadi biru pekat dan gelap.

Resto ini memiliki sajian eccletic serta beberapa menu nasional dan menitikberatkan sajian pada pizza yang dimasak pakai oven berbahan bakar kayu. Pilihan kami jatuh pada paket bebek goreng dengan nasi.

Di kesempatan dinner lainnya, kami bertandang ke Lotus Restaurant. Sebuah tempat makan yang membuat kami selalu ingin datang kembali, setiap kali berkunjung ke Lombok. Dengan setting menghadap bibir pantai, interior resto ini senada dengan chain Lotus Restaurant yang ada di Ubud. Baik di kawasan Monkey Forest maupun Jalan Raya, yang berlokasi dekat Pura Saraswati.

Meja ditutup dengan ubin keramik bergambar teratai dan daunnya serta seekor kodok. Sementara wadah lilin dan vas bunganya melukiskan kelopak-kelopak teratai. Resto ini juga memiliki chain di Singapura.

Sebagai appetizer, favorit kami adalah cheese samosa. Bentuknya tak beda dengan samosa berbentuk segitiga. Tapi isinya keju yang langsung lumer di lidah begitu digigit. Hidangan ini disajikan dengan saos chutney plum. Terbuat dari buah plum segar dicincang, yang dimasak dengan cabe merah dan gula hingga menghasilkan saos bertekstur kasar.

Beranjak ke main course, kami memilih sirloin steak dengan saos mushroom. Kadang-kadang juga black pepper sirloin steak atau chicken cordon bleu. Bila tengah merindukan citarasa makanan lokal, opsi kami Ayam Betutu, Grilled Fish a'la Jimbaran atau Nasi Campur Bali.

Berangkat dari chain Lotus Restaurant yang bermarkas di Pulau Dewata, tak heran kalau sajian Nasional mereka juga khas Bali. Ayam Betutu sajian Lotus Restaurant Senggigi sudah mengalami modifikasi sedemikian rupa, hingga pedasnya tak begitu menyengat.

Cara penyajiannya, ayam ditempatkan dalam sebuah bowl bersama nasi putih dan lawar sayuran.

Sementara Grilled Fish a'la Jimbaran, tak lain seekor ikan kakap merah utuh yang dibakar sambil dibubuhi cabe giling, bawang putih, sedikit kecap manis dan mentega serta dikucuri jeruk nipis sebelum dihidangkan dalam piring datar model daun teratai. Padanannya nasi putih tabur bawang goreng, lawar sayuran serta sambal bajak.

Sedangkan Nasi Campur Bali nya tak banyak berbeda dengan nasi campur Bali pada umumnya. Berupa hidangan sepinggan [one dish meal] berisi nasi putih dilengkapi lawar sayuran, goreng tahu-tempe, kerupuk, sambal, kakap dimasak santan serta sate ayam -khusus ayam ini, juga modifikasi. Umumnya, satenya berupa Sate Pusut [sate ikan] dan masih ada tambahan item berupa sayatan-sayatan daging babi.

Hidangan serba sedap ini kami tutup dengan dessert Apfelstrudel. Apel bercitarasa asam yang ditumis bersama bubuk kayumanis, gula pasir dan kismis, lalu dibalut dengan adonan pastry serta dipanggang. Penyajiannya ditaburi bubuk gula halus, ditambah satu scoop es krim vanilla.
